- the compounds of formula I in free form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form exhibit valuable pharmacological properties, e.g. as S1 P1 receptor agonists, e.g. as indicated in in vitro and in vivo tests and are therefore indicated for therapy.
- the compounds of formula I have binding affinity to individual human S1P receptors as determined in following assays:
- S1P 1 (EDG-1) GTP [ ⁇ - 35 S] binding assay Homogenized membranes are prepared from CHO cell clones stably expressing a human EDG-1 N-terminal c-myc tag. Cells are grown in suspension in two 850 cm 2 roller bottles for three or fours days before harvesting. The cells are centrifuged down, washed once with cold PBS, and resuspended in ⁇ 20 ml of Buffer A (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM EDTA, EDTA-free complete protease inhibitor cocktail [1 tablet/25 ml]).
- Buffer A (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM EDTA, EDTA-free complete protease inhibitor cocktail [1 tablet/25 ml]).
- the cell suspension is homogenized on ice, using a Polytron homogenizer at 30000 rpm at three intervals of 15 seconds each.
- the homogenate is first centrifuged at 2000 rpm on a tabletop low speed centrifuge for 10 minutes.
- the supernatant after passing through a cell strainer, is then re-centrifuged at 50,000 x g for 25 minutes at 4°C.
- the pellet is resuspended into buffer B (15% glycerol, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.1 mM EDTA, EDTA-free complete protease inhibitor cocktail [1 tablet/10 ml]).
- Protein concentration of the preparation is determined using the BCA Protein Assay kit (Pierce) using BSA as standard.
- the membranes are aliquoted and kept frozen at -80°C.
- test compounds ranging from 10 mM to 0.01 nM are prepared in DMSO. S1P is diluted in 4% BSA solution as positive controls. The desired amount of membrane preparation is diluted with ice-cold assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl 2 , 0.1% Fatty acid-free BSA, 5 ⁇ M GDP) and vortexed well. 2 ⁇ l or less of compound is distributed into each well of a round-bottom 96-well polystyrene assay plate, followed by addition of 100 ⁇ l of diluted membranes (3-10 ⁇ g/well) and kept on ice until the addition of hot GTP ⁇ S.
- ice-cold assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl 2 , 0.1% Fatty acid-free BSA, 5 ⁇ M GDP
- [ 35 S]-GTP ⁇ S is diluted 1:1000 (v/v) with cold assay buffer and 100 ⁇ l is added into each well. The reaction is carried out at room temperature for 90 minutes before the membranes are harvested onto Perkin-Elmer Unifilter ® GF/B-96 filter plate using a Packard Filtermate Harvester. After several washes with wash buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl 2 ), and a rinse with 95% ethanol, the filter is dried in a 37°C oven for 30 minutes. MicroScint-20 is added and the plate sealed for scintillation counting on TopCount. EC 50 values are obtained by fitting the GTP [ ⁇ - 35 S] binding curves (raw data) with the dose response curve-fitting tool of GraphPad Prism. Six or twelve different concentrations are used to generate a concentration response curve (using three data points per concentration).
- S1P 3,-4, -5 and -6 GTP [ ⁇ - 35 S] binding assays are carried out in a comparable manner to the S1P1 GTP [ ⁇ - 35 S] binding assay using membranes from CHO cells stably expressing c-terminal c-myc tagged or untagged receptors. For each membrane preparation, titration experiments are first run with S1P control to determine the optimal amount of membranes to be added per assay well.
- Compounds of formula I are tested according to the above assay and are observed to exhibit selectivity for the S1P1 receptor.
- Compounds of Examples 4, 13 and 21 have an EC 50 ⁇ 1 ⁇ M in the above assay and are e.g. at least 20 fold selective for S1P1 compared to S1P3, and e.g. at least 20 fold selective for S1P1 compared to S1P5.
- CHO cells expressing an S1P receptor are maintained in F-12K medium (ATCC), containing 5% FBS, with 500 ⁇ g/ml of G418. Prior to the assay, the cells are plated in 384 black clear bottom plates at the density of 10,000 cells/well/25 ⁇ l in the medium of F-12K containing 1% FBS. The second day, the cells are washed three times (25 ⁇ l/each) with washing buffer. About 25 ⁇ l of dye are added to each well and incubated for 1 hour at 37°C and 5% CO 2 .
- the cells are then washed four times with washing buffer (25 ⁇ l/each).
- the calcium flux is assayed after adding 25 ⁇ l of SEW2871 (published by Rosen et al., used as reference) solution to each well of cells.
- the same assay is performed with cells expressing each of the different S1 P receptors. Titration in the FLIPR calcium flux assay is recorded over a 3-minute interval, and quantitated as maximal peak height percentage response relative to S1P-1 activation.
- the compounds of the invention are active in this assay at a concentration of from 10 -12 and 3.10 -5 nM.
- Blood is collected from the sublingual vein 2, 6, 24 and 48 hours after administration under short isoflurane anesthesia. Whole blood samples are subjected to hematology analysis. Peripheral lymphocyte counts are determined using an automated analyzer. Subpopulations of peripheral blood lymphocytes are stained by fluorochrome-conjugated specific antibodies and analyzed using a fluorescent activating cell sorter (Facscalibur). Two rats are used to assess the lymphocyte depletion activity of each compound screened. The result is an ED 50 , which is defined as the effective dose required to display 50 % of blood lymphocyte depletion. Compounds of formula I are tested according to the above assay and have an ED 50 of less than 10 mg/kg.
- the compounds of formula I are, therefore, useful in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases or disorders mediated by lymphocytes interactions, e.g. in transplantation, such as acute or chronic rejection of cell, tissue or organ allo- or xenografts or delayed graft function, graft versus host disease, autoimmune diseases, e.g.
- rheumatoid arthritis systemic lupus erythematosus, hashimoto's thyroidis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, diabetes type I or II and the disorders associated therewith, vasculitis, pernicious anemia, Sjoegren syndrome, uveitis, psoriasis, Graves ophthalmopathy, alopecia areata and others, allergic diseases, e.g. allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, allergic contact dermatitis, inflammatory diseases optionally with underlying aberrant reactions, e.g.
- inflammatory bowel disease Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis

(M+1H)+ - The compounds of formula I in free form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form, exhibit valuable pharmacological properties, e.g. as S1 P1 receptor agonists, e.g. as indicated in in vitro and in vivo tests and are therefore indicated for therapy.
- The compounds of formula I have binding affinity to individual human S1P receptors as determined in following assays:
- S1P1 (EDG-1) GTP [γ-35S] binding assay: Homogenized membranes are prepared from CHO cell clones stably expressing a human EDG-1 N-terminal c-myc tag. Cells are grown in suspension in two 850 cm2 roller bottles for three or fours days before harvesting. The cells are centrifuged down, washed once with cold PBS, and resuspended in ≤20 ml of Buffer A (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM EDTA, EDTA-free complete protease inhibitor cocktail [1 tablet/25 ml]). The cell suspension is homogenized on ice, using a Polytron homogenizer at 30000 rpm at three intervals of 15 seconds each. The homogenate is first centrifuged at 2000 rpm on a tabletop low speed centrifuge for 10 minutes. The supernatant, after passing through a cell strainer, is then re-centrifuged at 50,000 x g for 25 minutes at 4°C. The pellet is resuspended into buffer B (15% glycerol, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.1 mM EDTA, EDTA-free complete protease inhibitor cocktail [1 tablet/10 ml]). Protein concentration of the preparation is determined using the BCA Protein Assay kit (Pierce) using BSA as standard. The membranes are aliquoted and kept frozen at -80°C.
- Solutions of test compounds ranging from 10 mM to 0.01 nM are prepared in DMSO. S1P is diluted in 4% BSA solution as positive controls. The desired amount of membrane preparation is diluted with ice-cold assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1% Fatty acid-free BSA, 5 µM GDP) and vortexed well. 2 µl or less of compound is distributed into each well of a round-bottom 96-well polystyrene assay plate, followed by addition of 100 µl of diluted membranes (3-10 µg/well) and kept on ice until the addition of hot GTPγS. [35S]-GTPγS is diluted 1:1000 (v/v) with cold assay buffer and 100 µl is added into each well. The reaction is carried out at room temperature for 90 minutes before the membranes are harvested onto Perkin-Elmer Unifilter® GF/B-96 filter plate using a Packard Filtermate Harvester. After several washes with wash buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2), and a rinse with 95% ethanol, the filter is dried in a 37°C oven for 30 minutes. MicroScint-20 is added and the plate sealed for scintillation counting on TopCount. EC50 values are obtained by fitting the GTP [γ-35S] binding curves (raw data) with the dose response curve-fitting tool of GraphPad Prism. Six or twelve different concentrations are used to generate a concentration response curve (using three data points per concentration).
- S1P 3,-4, -5 and -6 GTP [γ-35S] binding assays are carried out in a comparable manner to the S1P1 GTP [γ-35S] binding assay using membranes from CHO cells stably expressing c-terminal c-myc tagged or untagged receptors. For each membrane preparation, titration experiments are first run with S1P control to determine the optimal amount of membranes to be added per assay well.
- Compounds of formula I are tested according to the above assay and are observed to exhibit selectivity for the S1P1 receptor. For example, Compounds of Examples 4, 13 and 21 have an EC50 < 1 µM in the above assay and are e.g. at least 20 fold selective for S1P1 compared to S1P3, and e.g. at least 20 fold selective for S1P1 compared to S1P5.
- Compounds of the invention are tested for agonist activity on S1P1, S1P3, S1P5, and S1P6 with a FLIPR calcium flux assay. Briefly, CHO cells expressing an S1P receptor are maintained in F-12K medium (ATCC), containing 5% FBS, with 500 µg/ml of G418. Prior to the assay, the cells are plated in 384 black clear bottom plates at the density of 10,000 cells/well/25 µl in the medium of F-12K containing 1% FBS. The second day, the cells are washed three times (25 µl/each) with washing buffer. About 25 µl of dye are added to each well and incubated for 1 hour at 37°C and 5% CO2. The cells are then washed four times with washing buffer (25 µl/each). The calcium flux is assayed after adding 25 µl of SEW2871 (published by Rosen et al., used as reference) solution to each well of cells. The same assay is performed with cells expressing each of the different S1 P receptors. Titration in the FLIPR calcium flux assay is recorded over a 3-minute interval, and quantitated as maximal peak height percentage response relative to S1P-1 activation. The compounds of the invention are active in this assay at a concentration of from 10-12 and 3.10-5 nM.
- C. In vivo: Screening Assays for measurement of blood lymphocyte depletion Measurement of circulating lymphocytes: Compounds to be tested are dissolved in DMSO/PEG200 and further diluted with deionized water. Rats (Lewis strain, female, 6-12 weeks old) are administered 1 mg/kg of compound to be tested in 4 ml/kg vehicle (max. 2% DMSO/max. 2% PEG200/water) via per os application. DMSO/PEG200/water and FTY720 (0.3 mg/kg) are included as negative and positive controls, respectively.
- Blood is collected from the sublingual vein 2, 6, 24 and 48 hours after administration under short isoflurane anesthesia. Whole blood samples are subjected to hematology analysis. Peripheral lymphocyte counts are determined using an automated analyzer. Subpopulations of peripheral blood lymphocytes are stained by fluorochrome-conjugated specific antibodies and analyzed using a fluorescent activating cell sorter (Facscalibur). Two rats are used to assess the lymphocyte depletion activity of each compound screened. The result is an ED50, which is defined as the effective dose required to display 50 % of blood lymphocyte depletion. Compounds of formula I are tested according to the above assay and have an ED50 of less than 10 mg/kg.
- The compounds of formula I are, therefore, useful in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases or disorders mediated by lymphocytes interactions, e.g. in transplantation, such as acute or chronic rejection of cell, tissue or organ allo- or xenografts or delayed graft function, graft versus host disease, autoimmune diseases, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, hashimoto's thyroidis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, diabetes type I or II and the disorders associated therewith, vasculitis, pernicious anemia, Sjoegren syndrome, uveitis, psoriasis, Graves ophthalmopathy, alopecia areata and others, allergic diseases, e.g. allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, allergic contact dermatitis, inflammatory diseases optionally with underlying aberrant reactions, e.g. inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, intrinsic asthma, inflammatory lung injury, inflammatory liver injury, inflammatory glomerular injury, atherosclerosis, osteoarthritis, irritant contact dermatitis and further eczematous dermatitises, seborrhoeic dermatitis, cutaneous manifestations of immunologically-mediated disorders, inflammatory eye disease, keratoconjunctivitis, myocarditis or hepatitis, ischemia/reperfusion injury, e.g. myocardial infarction, stroke, gut ischemia, renal failure or hemorrhage shock, traumatic shock, cancer, e.g. breast cancer, T cell lymphomas or T cell leukemias, infectious diseases, e.g. toxic shock (e.g. superantigen induced), septic shock, adult respiratory distress syndrome or viral infections, e.g. AIDS, viral hepatitis, chronic bacterial infection, or senile dementia. Examples of cell, tissue or solid organ transplants include e.g. pancreatic islets, stem cells, bone marrow, corneal tissue, neuronal tissue, heart, lung, combined heart-lung, kidney, liver, bowel, pancreas, trachea or oesophagus. For the above uses the required dosage will of course vary depending on the mode of administration, the particular condition to be treated and the effect desired.
- In general, satisfactory results are indicated to be obtained systemically at daily dosages of from about 0.03 to 5.0 mg/kg per body weight. An indicated daily dosage in the larger mammal, e.g. humans, is in the range from about 0.5 mg to about 500 mg, conveniently administered, for example, in divided doses up to four times a day or in retard form. Suitable unit dosage forms for oral administration comprise from ca. 0.1 to 50 mg active ingredient.
- The compounds of formula I may be administered by any conventional route, in particular enterally, e.g. orally, e.g. in the form of tablets or capsules, or parenterally, e.g. in the form of injectable solutions or suspensions, topically, e.g. in the form of lotions, gels, ointments or creams, or in a nasal or a suppository form. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of formula I in free form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form in association with at least one pharmaceutical acceptable carrier or diluent may be manufactured in conventional manner by mixing with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
- The compounds of formula I may be administered in free form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form e.g. as indicated above. Such salts may be prepared in conventional manner and exhibit the same order of activity as the free compounds.
